no one cares that you shave your legs because of sensory issues shut the fuck up forever

[2well2water]

really galling amount of people misinterpreting this post so i'd like to clarify. i'm saying that when discussions about patriarchal beauty standards and the way women are heavily shamed and coerced into eschewing their own natural state of being (hairy) are occurring, it is unhelpful (AT BEST) to interrupt and say that the reason YOU remove the hair from your body is because of sensory issues. that's not what we're talking about. stop asking for validation for doing something that society at large wants you to do. stop derailing the conversation because you feel uncomfortable about being made aware that you, for whatever reason it is, adhere to harmful, unfair and ridiculous beauty standards. you're stepping into the middle of an important conversation that needs to be had and making it all about you. shut the fuck up forever.

[2well2water]

also quite frankly i think a lot less people would experience sensory issues if they let their hair grow out so that it isn't bristly and rough and irritating. and i cannot help but wonder why these sensory issues aren't as predominant in men. maybe you're uncomfortable with the hair on your body because you've been taught to be uncomfortable with it. just a thought.

swifties wonder why everyone thinks they're in a cult. it's because they act like a rich white woman born in 1989 invented the fucking wheel.

I even checked the user's post history to see if they were trolling and they weren't. another swiftie answered "you need to calm down",

probably millions of people have said those things before they were in taylor swift songs. they're so generic that it's weird to think of them as primarily taylor swift lyrics rather than just things people say. same with people acting like "haters gonna hate", "down bad", "in my ___ era", etc are taylor swift things. they're not! she is not a language innovator! she's a cultural black hole sucking things up into her suckiness!

Met him in 2016! Even though he lost that election, the potential was always there. He was mentored by civil rights icon John Lewis since he was a teenager. Good egg.

It's a shame there's no chance Warnock will be his running mate since they're from the same state. They've been a great team supporting each other.

Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms are campaigning together, resulting in the most title-of-your-sex-tape political graphic ever. Hope to see more of this.

Also, it must be said that he is greying very nicely.

the show starts with bellamy being described as a “self-serving jackass who doesn’t care about anyone but himself”, then you find out he sacrificed his entire childhood to raise his sister and lived in constant fear that she could, at any time, get caught, had to watch his mother die for the crime of having another child, became a parental figure to his sister when he was still a kid himself, was willing to die in order to keep her safe, willingly put his life at risk and joined a suicide mission just to keep an eye on her, stayed by her side through everything even when she insisted she didn’t need him, became a leader and protector for everyone around him and spent the whole story desperately trying to keep the people he cared about alive.

Y'all for real please do these. Even if you're certain your posture doesn't suck. One day you will wake up with impinged shoulder pain like I did and let me tell you it fucking HURTS. Do these exercises even just once a week and it will make such a difference. Especially my fellow creatives out there, stop shrimping over your work and go do these right now. RIGHT NOW.

Also, if you’re even a little concerned about getting a hump or having trouble standing fully upright in your old age, this is how you prevent that. If you want to be up and about when you’re old you have to start when you’re younger. And keep in mind there is no bad time to start and it’s never too late. Starting today is way better than never starting at all.

harry potter fandom experiencing such a revival in the last 5 or so years to the point where 5 out of the top 10 ships on ao3 this year are hp AFTER that woman started fully funding hate campaigns with her royalties is so bleak. fandom isn’t an indicator of morality but what are we doing here man.

Just imagined what if there was a scene where Stratt gets into a fight and the soundtrack was a special re-recorded version of "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" where he says "Stratturday"

Eva Stratt doing a roundhouse kick to some dude's head while Elton belts out "STRATTURDAY! STRATTURDAY!"

there’s plenty of valid reasons to dislike generative AI being used to write fanfiction. one of my reasons that i don’t see around is that an enjoyable part of reading fanfiction is figuring out which part of the story is the author’s unique undisclosed fetish. you don’t get that with AI. the robots aren’t making subtle references to inflation or piss or inappropriate uses of gunshot wounds in the middle of a sex scene!

Hey so like omen wise how are we doing. Are we doing okay

Hey @evilwizard. So, you up to anything new lately?

[captainjonnitkessler]

The thing that 90% of religious discourse on this site misses is that there are two religious hegemonies in America: one that privileges Christianity above all other religions, and *one that privileges religion in general above irreligion.*

Most people won't acknowledge or don't want to talk about the second one. It's why atheists are consistently ranked as the least trustworthy and least electable religious minority, it's why there's not a single open atheist in Congress and only .2% who are unaffiliated, it's why Jewish and Muslim faith leaders are joining evangelical Christians in suing to force prayer to be allowed in public schools, it's why people are fine with others talking about their faith but if an atheist brings up their beliefs it's viewed as inherently rude and aggressive, it's why there are people who may not like other religions but they hate atheists because they genuinely believe that you cannot be a good person without religion in your life, it's why there's so many posts on this website about how "you don't have to be religious but you DO have to believe in something!"

And I'm not trying to play Oppression Olympics here, obviously no religious minority is having a great time in the US right now. But there's an awful lot of people on here who really wanna argue about how atheists - who make up 4% of the population, 0% of congress, and are the single most liberal voting bloc of any religion - are actually all far-right Tech Bros just waiting to enact a genocide on the poor innocent religious people, and it starts to make more sense when you realize they have a vested interest in getting rid of the first hegemony but not the second.

I think the solution to kids on the Internet is to have specific, kid friendly spaces on the Internet. Kids wouldn't come across "adult content" on YouTube if barbie dot com still had flash games and this is a hill I will die on.

[aetherograph]

Oh! Then I know the EXACT person you should be mad at! Michael O'Rielly! He's the one that gutted the Children's Programming Rules, which covered internet as well as television.

[jauntylittlefrillyboy]

HELLO?

[aetherograph]

#so the death of the Saturday morning cartoon is THIS motherfuckers fault?????

Indeed it is! The FCC controls how much of broadcasting has to cater to children and that includes how educational that programming has to be, and exactly how much and in what way you are allowed to advertise to kids. That's why for the entire 90s and up to the early 00s, kids shows had shorter commercial breaks, and ads that talked about a website had to say "ask your parents before going online", and those websites had to be non-commercial--i.e. they could not be shops, and could not have any way you could spend money or were encouraged to spend money. That's why Barbie.com was flash games, and O'Rielly LIFTING that ban is why Barbie.com now takes you directly to a storefront instead.

If you're mad about Saturday Morning Cartoons, dark patterns in ads targeted at children, online protections for kids, or wondering why educational children's shows aren't as much of a thing as they used to be, get mad at the FCC and the person in charge of it who is gutting the Children's Brodcasting Rules (sometimes called the Kid Vid Rules), because those rules control all of that!

While O'Rielly is responsible for gutting the rules in 2019, he was replaced in 2020 by Nathan Simington as head of the FCC, and Simington resigned in June of this year. The post remains vacant as of the time of this writing (August 31, 2025).

And a side note: Things like KOSA and SCREEN and all those other censorship bills that use "think of the children" are not going to protect children at all; if you want to protect kids online, there is already a way to do that it's called the Kid Vid Rules and the FCC is the one that can update and change them to keep up with the times! It doesn't need a congress vote, it already got voted on in 1990!
